congratulations to kryshelle for winning the title of the FIRST NATIONAL DAY IDOL OF TJC!

i HATE to wait. i mean waiting for a few minutes is okay. but one and a half hours is crazy. i was sitting at starbucks and reading my pride and prejudice all the while. it was horrendous. and i'm still angry with her. its always like this. everytime we go out, she'll confirm plus guarantee to be late. correction: extremely late. its been 5 years and she hasn't changed one bit. i can name the one time when she wasn't late was when we set a rule that whoever is late by more than 5 minutes shall treat all 4 of us to lunch. and true enough, she was early that day. -.-" i mean, she's a wonderful friend, no doubt. but its this major flaw of hers that really gets on my nerves. and today, i called her at 10.15am and supposedly got her out of bed. when she said to meet at 12, i was really not counting on her to be on time. and so, when i called her at 12 at our meeting place, i half-expected her to be at most getting ready to leave house. but guess what? it's deja vu and i got her out of bed again. turned out that she went back to sleep and my guess is that she won't have woken up if i didn't call her. well, it's no surprise that she backed out on us on the last minute.
jiening met me as soon as she finished school and we watched click. the show is pretty funny. especially the ridiculously sexually high dog. it was sick la. but anyway, the story had a nice moral to it.

after national day celebrations, i had a lot of time to spare and i suddenly craved for this chicken rice that i used to eat all the time when i was very young. at least 10 years ago? that's the good thing about tj, its so near to my old neighbourhood and everything i was familiar with. so i made a 15 minutes walk to a market on the other side. thankfully this time when i went there, the chicken rice wasn't sold out. i still do recognise the old couple who run the stall together. and the food was really nice. but for some weird reasons, it wasn't as nice as i had known it to be. and as far as i can remember, it looked different now. just like the normal chicken rice outside. it was then that i realised that i wished things were old and how much i missed the past. probably because once you've been there to experience, to love and be so used to having, you never want it to change.
